Is it supposed to shoot out water ? The first time we used it, the air was cool and we had along the bed. We used it again, and now its spraying out "mist" and over time it makes everything in front of it wet. The vents are also wet and water is...

You can turn the "cool air" off and it'll stop doing the water... But we use ours quite often on high and with "cool air" and it'll sometimes kinda spit at us if we're too close when it first starts going but nothing like you're describing. We also make sure the water is cold water and even put the ice pack in it... But maybe your home is too humid for the "cool air" action too considering it's basically using humidity to help make the air cool.

Nope. It's from it drying out and "burning". Just re-wet it if it's dried out.

I haven't had to yet. If you turn water pump off 15 min before you turn the fan off it drys the pad out so it doesn't mold. Its not like a sponge it just looks like cardboard, pad just there to hold water. Its not like a house a/c, its like a fan blowing 75 deg air on you (the feel like temp here 106). Very nice when your in air path.

same here- tried cleaning it, no luck- when I first turn it on a lot of mist comes out and then hardly any, then puffs, then nothingedit- just poured out a lot of the water out of the cup and it works beautifully again! I think it requires a lot less water in the cup than you might think...I misplaced the measuring cup that came with mine. Although if yours doesn't mist at all that's probably not the problem....edit again- it ran out of water before the cycle was done...so that doesn't seem right to me either

Not surprised. Mine isn't producing much mist and I expect it will quit any day now. Unhappy with this purchase and not cheap. I would send it back or email the manufacturer.

Yes, it emits a cool mist and what I like about this model is it doesn't "spit" on furniture - the design prevents that. I've had other more expensive models and they left marks on furniture. I'm very pleased with this unit.

I don't want to make assumptions as to what you mean by "spitting water". I've noticed that if I don't have it completely on the base correctly it will leak and make noises but not spitting. I've also noticed that if I turn it up full blast and leave it that way for a long while then the entire area gets soaking wet from the condensation. It's not spitting but the output is so heavy that might as well be. You can visually see what looks like fog steaming out of it on full blast but it doesn't disburse fast enough not to soak the area. You can especially see it well if you have the little light on. If I turn the dial to about half way then i don't have that problem.

Mine does the same thing. It runs but no air, I did not try it until a few weeks ago when I needed it and the same thing. It runs but no air. It's too late for me to return it so I just have to live with it. Sorry.

We've had our Koldfront for a few months now, there isn't any water. As the description states: The unit features an internal condensate removal system that will handle all but the most humid environments saving you the trouble of manually emptying a water bucket. This is very true, we've had no water issues. We didn't run our system 24/7, only as needed. I suppose it you use it 24/7 you might have water. What I'd also like to mention is this unit is GREAT! We have a 3 bedroom rambler and it cools the house very well.

I finally found my unit. You have to hold the mist button down for the unit to work. You can turn the fan on, but no mist will come out unless you depress and hold the mist button on the front (below the fan). I have another unit called the ArizonaMist which does not have a fan, but you pump it up, turn it on, and it sprays a mist until the pressure runs out (a few minutes). Then you have to repump it. I think it is better for a car. Hope this helps.

It is a drip hose so it should just dribble. If it is spraying in an arc, that means it is either damaged, or you have the water turned up too high.

Mostly. I have two units in our yard. Same brand. One has taken wind and weather with NO problem, the other seems to get a little finicky when wet. Maybe one is more exposed to a certain direction of wind or rain, who knows. But once it's dried out again it works just fine.

If you hold up a glass or mirror or something in front of the emitting nozzle while it's running, you should see some water start to fog/form droplets on the surface. If not, you might have a defective product. Maybe some part of the water feed is blocked or broken, after the sensor that tells the unit it's out of water.Because the mist is so fine, I can't always see it either, especially below 20% or so. At full power you should definitely see the mist particles. Try looking at it from a side angle in front of a dark-colored surface, or turning off the lights and using the unit's night light.I'm out of ideas!

Did you lift up the little clear door to expose the vent? It should lift up to form a little wedge. If it is still not working it may be defective. I can see mist as it operates on mine. Good luck

I used water instead. It is much easier and does the trick. Don't fill it completely full. Leave a little room for expansion. I have had temps down to -22F and it is still with the original water from years ago. I have had extremely high winds as well.

Just be careful when you take the top off to refill. Water will drip out of the top. Otherwise when it is running, the mist is so fine it dissipates quickly. I have mine sitting directly on my wood desk. I just make sure to keep a paper towel handy when I refill.
